In The End

Lose Yourself

Endless days and endless nights.

Losing sleep over mundane talks.

Starting fights like a schoolyard bully.

Nothing to see here folks.

So just move it along.

Life never actually gets better

In fact, it gets a hell of a lot worse.

Don't look back but don't go forward.

Just don't move.

Sit and talk for a while.

Don't give in to the voices.

Let your eyes flutter shut.

Wait, don't speak anymore.

Listen to me for a moment.

I just to help.

Follow us down this dark path.

This is the way to go.

Let the voices take over

Let the darkness win.

It always does in the end.
